ABSTRACT Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyze the stimuli that lead women to leave formal jobs and seek self-employment. originality/value: Changes in the social patterns and lifestyle of the population have made research aimed at career and gender gain relevance. There is, however, a lack of research on women who have left their organizations and the main stimuli of this movement, exogenously and endogenously driven, which are relevant as result of social and cultural factors intrinsic to the family environment that leads to a career change. design/methodology/approach: The qualitative methodology of narrative analysis was used, adequate to the examination of the phenomenon in question. Findings:The following stimuli were highlighted: self-fulfillment and search for flexibility; professional achievement; personal challenges; high level of career ambition; and search for a feminine identity. The results diverged in relation to the existing literature, mainly focused on exogenous factors. Although mentioning difficulties in reconciling work with domestic activities, the professionals under study, previously occupying formal positions in companies, did not perceive or did not undergo any type of limitation at work, such as the phenomenon of glass ceiling, difficulties in working on the masculinized leadership model, family pressures, and fear of misuse of sexuality. Entrepreneurship emerged mainly as a career option as a form of personal self-actualization and not through imposition arising from social, family or labor difficulties.
O amplo rearranjo institucional e de mercado decorrente das privatizações de concessões de serviços públicos no Brasil em diversos setores econômicos tornou evidente a crescente necessidade de estabelecer ações de gestão que produzam o desempenho esperado dessas concessões. Inseridas num ambiente de incertezas, concessões como as de distribuição de gás canalizado têm sido pouco investigadas por pesquisadores no âmbito da gestão estratégica. Dentro de uma perspectiva relacional, o estudo investigou o impacto dos fatores macroambientais no desempenho da CEG e da CEG RIO, distribuidoras de gás canalizado do estado do Rio de Janeiro, privatizadas em julho de 1997. De acordo com a metodologia de estudo de caso de Yin (1994), foi adotada a estratégia de triangulação dos métodos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de investigação documental/telematizada, levantamento de percepções tipo survey via questionário predominantemente estruturado e entrevistas complementares. A interpretação e a análise dos dados foram realizadas com base em referenciais teóricos relacionais e com o auxílio do modelo de análise estratégica relacional de Macedo-Soares (2002). Os resultados sugeriram a adequação estratégica das empresas e confirmaram que a ótica relacional agregou valor no sentido de trazer novos insights para a tomada de decisão estratégica da CEG e da CEG RIO, em particular, e para concessões de serviços públicos, de uma forma geral.
Resumo: São notáveis, ainda que insuficientes, os esforços empreendidos por pesquisadores, visando compreender a dinâmica relacionada ao processo de prevenção de acidentes de trabalho. A incidência de tais eventos implica Abstract:The efforts made by researchers to understand the dynamics of work-related accident prevention are remarkable but not enough to exhaust the subject. The occurrence of such events implies significant losses for society, organizations and families, in addition to the injured individuals subject to the accident. This kind of phenomenon that still happens in contemporary organizations requires not only a purely mechanistic view but also the understanding of interpersonal relations in the employment context, which refers to the organizational culture. As a quantitative analysis, this study aimed to test a model related to the culture of safety in workplace, present in the literature, in the Brazilian mining industry. Based on the initial results and on the requirements pointed out by a group of security experts in this field, we suggested adjustments in the model and it was re-tested. The results confirmed the model applied in this study and they indicated that factors related to the culture of safety in this specific environment are organizational learning, information and commitment.
As energy sector firms belong to a regulated industry, their management faces significant challenges. In this kind of business environment it is very important to develop political strategies. Defining political strategy as the set of actions that firms plan and undertake in order to maximize economic returns from the political environment (Bonardi & Keim, 2005; Oliver & Holzinger, 2000; Schuler, 1996), and focusing specifically on actions whose aim is to influence the regulatory environment, the purpose of the broader research at issue in this article is to contribute to studies of the strategic management of firms that engage in alliances and networks in regulated industries. Its objective is to develop and apply an analytical framework with a relational perspective, involving a methodology, constructs and model, in the context of a multiple case study, whose results can be used to support the strategic management of firms with the characteristics cited. The aim of this article is to propose a preliminary framework based on a thorough bibliographical review, participant observation in a leading Brazilian electricity distributor, and validating interviews with experts and executives from the sector
Operating cost forecasts are used in economic feasibility studies of projects and in budgeting process. Studies have pointed out that some companies are not satisfied with the budgeting process and chief executive officers want updates more frequently. In these cases, the main problem lies in the costs versus benefits. Companies seek simple and cheap forecasting methods without, at the same time, conceding in terms of quality of the resulting information. This study aims to compare operating cost forecasting models to identify the ones that are relatively easy to implement and turn out less deviation. For this purpose, we applied ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) and distributed dynamic lag models to data from a Brazilian petroleum company. The results suggest that the models have potential application, and that multivariate models fitted better and showed itself a better way to forecast costs than univariate models.
